Wow, I *am* into downloading shows. Did these come from eMusic?
I've found a couple good (free) live shows for download on db etree, but it's mostly jamband crap. I did get a great Morning Jacket show and a pretty cool Man or Astroman show.
Would love to hear a good Urge Overkill show. The show they played at the old 9:30 club was very memorable.
-
yes they are all eMusic shows... the Digital Club Network service got folded into eMusic awhile back
-
Here is a blog entry I wrote about AllOfMP3.com, which is cheaper, has a bigger selection (though not quite as indie as eMusic), and also has no DRM...

Buying music from the Russkies is a blast.
-
35 Dischord titles now up for grabs
-
doubt what i did had little to do with this... but the minute i found out dischord went with ITMS, provider of ACC files DRMed for their protection, i shot off an email to both Dischord and eMusic suggesting the two should meet.
-
kosmo...which subscription do you use and how does it work if you want to get 5 songs more than your subscription? i like that they use 192 VBR lame files...basically what I rip at home.

Well Jerry agress with you
"For Casale, however, success is still defined by seeing his music on CDs in record store bins.
"That's the logical conclusion," he said. "People want objects. It's a fetish."
But...
n 1978, Devo frontman Gerald Casale spotted his band's debut LP in a record store bin for the first time. He was struck by an undeniable thought: the band had made it.
"It's what you've been busting your butt for and finally, it happens," Casale said.
Seeing the latest release by his new group hit a virtual bin as a digital file on Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes Music Store was less than exciting by comparison.
"This time it's like window shopping," said Casale. His new music is distributed by Cordless Recordings, a new breed of label that has dumped CDs and other traditional formats in favor of offering music only online.

I agree that the physical media is important, the CD booklet not so much... Unless it's an anthology or greatest hits with an essay or liner notes,it's not likely I'll flip through the booklet more than once, which could easily be downloaded from a website.

Happy (bleated) New Year, BTW

looks like eMusic has moved beyond Mountain Goats! today new additions include Cherry Red Records with a Felt Greatest Hits, Eyeless in Gaza, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and a really great compliation of the labels history.
Add in the Butthole Surfers catalog, some Pere Ubu, Dio, and some Vital PIAS Digital labels. Vital PIAS represents some great UK labels like Domino, Drowned in sound, Setenta, Wall of sound, Skint, Warp, hopefully some of those some in the near future.

Digital Vinyl: The Opposite of Sony-BMG
January 11, 2006
There's a new trend underway among indie labels, dubbed "digital vinyl": offering free MP3 downloads for customers who buy albums on vinyl. First Merge Records offered free downloads to those who bought vinyl releases by Clientele and Robert Pollard. Now Saddle Creek Records has announced that they will be doing the same thing for their customers who prefer vinyl, starting with What the Toll Tells, the new record by Two Gallants due in February.
For a variety of reasons, vinyl has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity among music fans (I, for one, can attest that The Decemberists' Picaresque vinyl release sounds better the CD). Unfortunately, music fans who own turntables and iPods find themselves in a bit of a quandry.
Who cares, you say? How many people could that be, you say? Well, smart independent labels aren't asking those questions. Instead, they are trying to make their customers happy, even the vinyl-loving, iPod-equipped ones.
Quite a stark contrast to the likes of EMI and Sony-BMG, whose copy-protected CDs are stopping music fans from getting their CDs into their iPods.
Thank god for independent record labels like Merge and Saddle Creek.

Sony Music launching label geared to gay recording artists
-
Wednesday, January 11, 2006
Sony Music has teamed with the founder of a gay cable network to form a record label geared toward developing gay, lesbian and transgender recording artists.
The label, dubbed Music With A Twist, plans to employ talent scouts nationwide to find emerging artists who have generated a buzz in the gay community and have the potential for mass appeal.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The recordings will be released in a marketing partnership with the Sony Music Label Group, which includes Columbia Records Group, Epic Records, Sony Nashville and Sony Urban Music.
It's a home that says to artists, 'We not only are OK with who you are, but we embrace that as part of your identity,'" said Matt Farber, president of Wilderness Media & Entertainment and founder of Logo, the MTV Networks channel targeting gay audiences.
Farber compared the concept of a record label focusing on gay artists with that of urban labels formed to nurture rap or hip-hop acts.
Twist plans to sign artists covering a variety of musical genres and also release compilations with songs by established artists.
Sony Music has also agreed to become a charter sponsor of a syndicated radio show produced by Wilderness Media and dubbed Twist that is launching this weekend in several markets and online.

I'll give emusic its due when appropriate. I downloaded Deadboy and the Elephantmen off of emusic about a month ago after reading about the Iota show on here. I saw them Saturday night and it was maybe the best show I have seen in a couple of years.
-
Kosmo,
Do you own stock in eMusic (seriously)?
I have loved the company for a while now and have considered purchasing some stock, but they don't seem to be listed on any of the major exchanges.
Thanks.
-
no just a member since 2001 and no fan of ITMS, etc...
-
Tommy Keene's new album, released today, available on eMusic. "Crashing the Ether"
The National, "S/T" and "Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers" newly available this week.
And Chet Baker, Live in Paris.

just got my freebie downloads due to referring bags... thanks for signing up! :D

Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:

Question -- any idea how the artists are compensated when an album is bought via eMusic versus retail?
As you might imagine, I'm downloading Keene's album, but I want the man to succeed!!
-
i'm not sure about how much the labels get per download as it's not going to be very much... in the past matador has stated although they make pennies via eMusic, but it's better to get something instead of nothing when people download illegaly. of a late labels are staying with eMusic because of the buzz it can create. think of it as being able to preview the cd at a low cost, with the option to buy it from him later directly at a show where he is likely to make the most money on the sale.

Which I will almost certainly do (though I just checked his website and I'm out of town for his DC date, June 17 at Iota). :(

You know me so well. I would, but I can't -- I planned a reunion with friends in Chicago, and that includes one chap coming in from Dusseldorf. Even I see the relative importance of 15-year friendships versus my power pop heroes. ;)
-
by request :)
I was thinking that it's shame eMusic dosen't have better group options, they have lists, friends, and neighbors. But it would be nice to be able to create a group of people on eMusic like last.fm...
anyways a couple interesting finds on eMusic of late
DC's own The Hard Tomorrows (http://www.emusic.com/album/10931/10931359.html)
Haven't downloaded it yet, but Andy Chase the guy in Ivy has a couple other records out under the name Brookville (http://www.emusic.com/artist/11584/11584880.html)
Of course don't forget the ZZT catalog stuff including the two disc version of Kirsty MacColl's Titanic Days, a new Heaven 17 record which is interesting, so much stuff i'm filling up even more playlists to store it all.
-

yes
-
I downloaded The Hard Tomorrows last night, haven't listened yet.
As I mentioned in another thread, all of Ivy's albums are available. Inevitably I have them all, but cool to see.
I actually got Dane Cook's comedy album. I figure for what I'm actually paying, it's kinda off my beaten path for just a few bucks. I was dying laughing at his routine over his "dream house."
-
Dragcity Records with Pavement, Silver Jews, Smog and Joanne Newsome justed added to eMusic.
So how many other eMusic subscribers are finding they have to much to choose from when downloading. I watch the new addition over the month and add to my many playlists what looks good and decide all at once what to get. This last month I ended up going with a couple last minute choices found while checking out the charts etc. Which of course means yet another five or so albums I'll never get around to downloading in the future. Even got a booster pack because I wanted download the Girl Talk cd this month.

Just added to eMusic
Picaresqueties - The Decemberists, a collection of songs released as bonus tracks on the vinyl....

There is a French version of the Nouvelle Vague album, to bad it can't be downloaded in the US :mad: Same goes for the Delgado's Peel sessions collection :confused:

As I understand it, you can change your billing address just for a moment and appear to be from that country to get what you need.
I haven't tried it myself, but I have read of others doing it.
-
There is now a EU version of eMusic with separate billing and added VAT. Not sure how they are separating out the non-US folks if it's just based on address or something else. Looks like they will be getting access to stuff not available to the US like Domino... Would be interesting to see watch what additions they get and whether or not a second account will be in order :)
Of course the Europeans eMusic users have been complaining about US only downloads for awhile now, so I guess this is only fair :)
-
I see what you're getting at Kosmo. The French Version will be available for sale in the US as a Special Edition with an altered track list adding three bonus songs as well (Moody, Sweet and Tender Hooligan, and Blue Monday). It comes out August 22nd in stores, but I'm not sure about downloads.
The pending question is whether or not one other song that is on some versions of the album will be included as a hidden track - a track called "Eisbaer" by a Swiss band called Grauzone.
It's similar to their first album. Some versions had "Friday Night, Saturday Morning" and some didn't.
Here's the new Track list:
1. The Killing Moon
2. Ever Fallen in Love?
3. Dance with Me
4. Don't Go
5. Dancing with Myself
6. Pride (In the Name of Love)
7. O Pamela
8. Heart of Glass
9. Confusion
10. Human Fly
11. Bela Lugosi's Dead
12. Shack Up
13. Let Me Go
14. Fade to Grey
BONUS
15. Moody
16. Sweet and Tender Hooligan
17. Blue Monday
-
There is also a French version of the first album as well with two bonus tracks... Too bad they didn't record it in French as well that would have been cool also
